Daiphantus(Δαΐφαντος), a Theban, who was
slain at the battle of Mantineia, B. C. 362. It is said that
Epaminondas, after he had received his mortal wound, asked successively for Daiphantus and
Iolaidas, and, when he heard of their death, advised his countrymen to make peace. (Plut. Apophth. Epam. 24; Ael. VH 12.3.)
